Klose's great marc, but I overlooked him in favour of the new blood, which as I sad is refreshing, miroslavs on his way out after a great career, and had the same question been asked 5 years ago, I would have went for klose myself

Attacking players always get all the attention, so I'll go for Holger Badstuber.

His rapid rise from playing 3rd division football to appearing on the world's greatest stages has been remarkable - a versatile defender, great in the air and a passing ability that most top level midfielders would be envious of

I've always liked Ballack, but with all the young guys my taste has changed slightly, the oldest of my favorite players being Schwiensteiger, I really like Ozil, and Kroos has got some magnificent skills with the ball, whether he is permanent or not on the national team

Till this day I love ballack for his amazing contributions to the german side, his game has not changed and he is still an epic player. I believe if ballack was fit to take khediras role in the world cup - they would have atleast reached the final. He is such a character and its a shame its coming to a end soon

Babstuber is a beast! And I think Friederich needs a shout out. A fantastic player!

I'm not sure off the pitch but on it I've always thought Ballack was great. Ballack's probably my No 1 right now because he's been underrated. Schwiensteiger, Ozil, and Muller are all beastly as well and could play for any club in the world

I wouldn't say that Ozil is better than Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger is a much more experienced midfielder and also the irreplaceable player in the team. No one in the team is able to control the game like Bastian
